I am trying to implement drag and drop for animated gif images without success. Is it even possible to support this? Playing around in the simulator, when I drop an animated image from the Photos application into the Messages app, I only get a static image (the first frame) - I have that working for my app as well but would really like to support drag and drop for the animated image if possible.
iOS 11 drag and drop for animated image?
This is not currently possible, because the drag preview is always a static image. Feel free to file a quick enhancement request if you'd like to see support for this added in a future release.
Thanks Tyler,
I would be fine with a static preview – what I can't get to work is transferring the underlying animated GIF object via drag and drop. If that is not possible I will gladly file a request (as it is unexpected and confusing to the user to say the least).
